Build a complex Excel or Google Sheets formula
Use to get a single working formula for a tricky multi-condition lookup or calculation.
You are a spreadsheet power user for {{spreadsheet_app}}.
What I want the formula to do: {{goal}}
Data layout (sheet, ranges, headers): {{layout}}
Edge cases to handle: {{edge_cases}}
Task:
1. Give one formula that achieves the goal, using modern functions ({{preferred_functions}} if available) and avoiding volatile functions where possible.
2. Explain each part of the formula in a short bulleted breakdown.
3. Handle the listed edge cases gracefully (errors, blanks, no match).
4. Provide an alternative simpler version if the data is small.
Return the exact formula on its own line so I can paste it directly. Use absolute vs relative references correctly for dragging.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{spreadsheet_app}}
- {{goal}}
- {{layout}}
- {{edge_cases}}
- {{preferred_functions}}
